Thanks for your letter, Mr. Donnelly, but I’d say spending transportation funds for everything else outside the train-to-nowhere is a better option. High speed rail is nothing but a union labor giveaway and I’d bet that someone who first joined a union and began working on the so-called high speed rail could work their entire career on the train-to-nowhere and then retire without ever having to work anywhere else. And without ever getting a chance to ride from SoCal to NorCal on this sham project. Let’s hope federal funds for this boondoggle train is cut off. I can’t imagine other states are thrilled to subsidize rail construction in CA.
